Information About Rose:

Personal Description:

I studied French at University College London, graduating in 2003, with a 2:1 class degree. I was awarded a distinction in Spoken French. I have travelled extensively in France and lived in Toulouse for a year, 2001 - 2002. Since my first holiday in France when I was 6 years old I have loved the language, the country and its culture. This enthusiasm always comes across when I teach, I can often win over even the most reluctant of French pupils!

Teaching Experience:

I have been a private tutor in French in Edinburgh for just over a year; on average, during the academic year, teaching 8 - 10 students one-to-one at any one time. Experienced in all levels of tuition: Primary, GSCE, A-Level, Standards, Highers and Advanced Highers. I have also taught a number of adults during this time. Lesson times vary from one hour to an hour and a half depending on the student's requirements. Feedback has been very positive, most of my work comes from recommendations from existing students. Academic improvements in student's work are guaranteed as is a growth in their self-confidence.

Tutoring Approach:

I go with a professional yet informal approach. Especially with school students who have fallen behind in their French and whose confidence is low, I believe it is important to gain their interest and trust in order to efficiently improve their work. I follow curriculam requirements closely in order to effectively prepare them for exam questions but tailor exercises to their age and interests. I balance the work we do together with plenty of independent work for them to build their confidence outwith of working with a tutor. I use the first lesson to gauge the student's level, ask them which particular things they struggle with and from this map out subsequent lesson plans. I balance written, reading, listening and conversational exercises firmly in the believe that overall improvement requires competencies in all areas as they all effect each other: listening will improve your speaking and reading your writing and so on. Patience, professionalism and a sense of humour are vital in my work as a tutor.
